Paul
was born into a family of three. His father is a
corporate worker who sets out as early as 5am in the
morning only to return home at 10pm and above.
His mother was a business woman who sells
provisions in wholesale and retails. She also closed
as late as 10pm. Paul has two junior sisters who
were in KG 2 and primary 4 respectively while he
was in SS2. Due to lack of parental monitoring,
paul had mingled with the bad guys in his
neighbourhood. Every evening after school, he
would go to the neighbourhood to play, the bad
guys would send him to buy cigarettes and
alcoholic drinks. Atimes, he would be sent to call a
pretty lady passing by. At ss3, paul had started
smoking indian hemp, his parent tried so many
times to correct him but he had turned to a dry fish
difficult to bend. Paul had became notorious in the
neighbourhood causing trouble and atrocities. He
wrote his first jamb after ss3 at 18 but he failed. he
made another 3 attempts at the next 3 consecutive
years and still failed. he was frustrated with his
failure and yet, he wouldn’t give up on his bad
attitude,. He was at home one day watching a
programme on the TV station and after the program,
a religious program came up. Paul was captivated
by the preacher and followed the preaching from
bumper to bumper. It got to a point, the preacher
made mention that “you should make a difficult
vow with God and be serious with it. It should be
something that will cost you pain . And tell God
that if you can do this particular thing for me, this is
what I will give you/ do for you.”.. Paul got the
message and decided to give it a trial. He promised
God to be born again and served him with the
whole of his live on campus and beyond if God
could give him an admission the following year.
As luck would have it, paul gained admission to
study micro-biology the following year. At the
beginning of his year one. He was finding it
difficult to born again due to the high number of
pretty chicks who are freshers on campus. They are
indeed tempting and seductive. The way this girls
packaged their assets could make a G.O commit
“side-game”. At first semester, paul enjoyed life,
bleeped 3 freshers and clubbed forgetting that he
made a promise to God. Towards the end of first
semester, he had a dream seeing an old man in
white gown reminding him of the promises he made
before he got his admission. He woke up and began
to cry, he cried and realized he didn’t fulfilled his
promises. The following week, he joined a
fellowship of one of his numerous girlfriends. At
the beginning of second semester, paul had
beacame a changed person. He doesn’t flirt and
clubs again. He joined bible study and Prayer units.
He was so fervent in the service that he doesn’t miss
any of the weekly programs and activities, you
would always see paul at every campus religious
gatherings and events. At 200level, he was made
the bible study secretary of his fellowship. He was
so diligent in the stewardship that he was made the
president of his Fellowship at 300level. All through
this periods, paul was binding and casting out
demons and doing special miraculous works. The
entire campus could feel it that there was someone
named paul. He graduated from school and went for
his NYSC and was posted to a public secondary
school in calabar, that was where trouble
